Logitech Harmony 676 Universal Remote Control

Average rating: Stars

Sliced bread? HA!

This is a terrific little toy. Does everything you could want it to, and the setup is a cakewalk. Very pleased. I'd like to say I miss having to use 4 remotes to set up to watch a movie, but I'd be lying...

Solid unit with complete control

I've had the 676 for about a month now and I get more impressed with it as I tweak it. It is now the perfect remote.
I went to Best Buy and looked at the other Harmony models before I bought and the 676 brought the best of everything to the table: button feel, button locations, and looks. For me button feel and location was the most important - I watch TV nearly in the dark and I need a remote that makes that easy.
The best thing is tweaking every button to be exactly what you want. I gotta admit, at first, I didn't think this was going to be worth the money. I was wrong. This remote gets it done.

Awesome Remote! Terrible Web Setup!!!!

I'd so much love to give this remote a 5 star rating, but...

The remote itself is awesome. Easy to use, simple, very flexible. However, the setup is the worst I've seen for any device remote or otherwize. It's only done via a web site that uses an intermediate communication drive to talk to the remote. While I don't mind the idea of a web base setup, their's is just terrible. It's slow, tedious and makes changes a thing I try very very hard to avoid.

I'm a power user type. The type that buys gadgets like this. I wish their web site had a power user mode where I'd just get the basic information on a single screen where I can change anything anywhere in any way I want. But instead I have to walk through pages and pages of "wizards" that slow the process down to a pathetic crawl. Plus, not all of the info on the web page is correct. Granted that can be changed with a simple report to their customer service, but if I could make changes the way I want, then most of the problems could be over-come by simply changing the programming of the remote, oh boy another visit to the web page for a 10 minutes one button change, joy joy.

Sorry, I can't recommend the product for anyone of any ability in electronics. Until the change the web site, or do the right thing by making an internet enabled stand-alone application for programming this device, it gets a thumbs down.
